UPDATED – Wanda Sykes: The “Killer” Elite
Nikki Finke: Wanda Sykes Gives Extremely Partisan Performance at White House Correspondents Dinner. But why are we surprised? Sykes was probably just catering to the bulk of her audience. It’s a White House Correspondents dinner.
Finke is no conservative blogger or journalist. She’s a Hollywood institution. If in her opinion Wanda Sykes’ jokes were extremely one-sided, the bias must have been off the charts.
Some of the comments on Finke’s post are a little bizarre. They imply Wanda’s jokes are the balance our Hannity/Limbaugh-dominated media sorely need. Now that’s funny.
UPDATE: John Romano: Wanda Sykes, Dividing America?
MORE: Instapundit: It was “all about showing off in the classless-thug attack-dog competition, not about speaking truth to power.”
I guess we should have seen this coming. In the era of Gangsterism in politics, the winner of such a competition would earn elite status in short order. Go for the jugular, and you’ve arrived!
ANOTHER ONE: How can Obama laugh at jokes about wanting Limbaugh dead? Must be a Chicago thing.
